Office Finding Non-Genuine License(s) #40

hi,
I have used your instruction to fix the genuine office problem but somehow office is identifying the license,
Either Microsoft knows about these activations or multiple uses of this code may have drawn their attention.
I have noticed indisputably that the notice starts popping up every time an update is launched.
This was fixed by repairing the office (offline).
I also suspect that because this code has been used for quite some time, this code is gradually becoming less effective.
I think that the update should solve this problem.
It can also be because the KMS server may have been found or may have some flaw in it's working.
I appreciate your work and research on it, trying to make it better.
hope this finds you well!

Hi @procoder07

https://infohost.github.io/office-license-is-not-genuine
On this page, I've listed many solutions, please specify which method you have applied to fix it so I can know what did not work for you.
Also, please share the office version info listed on File > Account page in an Office app.
Thanks for the feedback,

Hi @WindowsAddict,
I've used the main solution listed on the page. - Solution (Known to be perfect).
The office version is Microsoft Office professional plus 2019.
I have followed all steps correctly. even in such cases, Some Problems have occurred
ex - Banner showing up when Microsoft launches an update, etc.

Hi,

I'll need some more info about this.

Please open the command prompt and share the output of the below commands.

reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v VersionToReport
reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v AudienceData
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v KeyManagementServiceName
wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where (Name like '%%office%%' and PartialProductKey is not NULL) get ID /VALUE

Also, please tell me how Office is showing the banner, I mean is it only a yellow banner or a separate window appears to inform the license is not genuine.

Thanks a lot.

Hi @WindowsAddict, This is the system response from the written code is below.
As a suggestion, I would like to say that the KMS server kms.loli.beer worked perfectly as compared to kms8.msguides.com.
I would also suggest using the script again after doing an online/offline repair to solve the banner problem for increasing the code's accuracy as it works every time seamlessly.
The office is only showing the yellow banner and refrains from updates when not activated.
Please ping me for the same if you need anything else.

Hi @procoder07
This shows that your Office 2019 is not on the PerpetualVL2019 (ATM, 16.0.10374.20040) but on the current (ATM, 16.0.14026.20246) update channel.

You may have missed something in the instructions.


Yeah, I'm aware of the issue where MS is detecting msguides server specially. The workaround would be to just convert the server hostname to IP and use that instead for activation. Will update the script soon.

Hi @WindowsAddict,
Thanks for your response.
Do you have a solution to change the update channel?

Hi @WindowsAddict,
Thanks for your response.
Do you have a solution to change the update channel?

Yes, but the PerpetualVL2019 update channel can not be changed from/to other update channels.
Though you can change other update channels to the Monthly Enterprise update channel to avoid the banner.

Hi @WindowsAddict,

Thanks.

We can enable S mode in Windows 10 (not talking about converting to Windows 10 S edition).
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-10-in-s-mode-download.79905/#post-1534193
Though I've read somewhere that it's not possible in recent Windows 10 builds.
I never tried this myself.
